    <h1>Introduction</h1>
      <p>
        Welcome to the documentation for the <strong>Eclipse Translation</strong> plugin. 
		This tool enables seamless text translation directly within the Eclipse IDE.
      </p>  
      
      <h2>Usage</h2>
	  <h2>1. Translate Selected Text</h2>
	   <p>
	     Select any text in an editor, then either:
	   </p>
	   <ul>
	     <li>Right-click and choose <strong>Translate</strong></li>
	     <li>Or press the shortcut: <strong>Ctrl + Alt + T</strong></li>
	   </ul>
	   <p>The translation result will be shown in a popup window.</p>

	   <h2>2. Translation View</h2>
	   <p>
	     You can also use the dedicated Translation View:
	   </p>
	   <ul>
	     <li>Go to <strong>Window &gt; Show View &gt; Other...</strong></li>
	     <li>Then select <strong>Plug-in Development &gt; Translation View</strong></li>

	   <h2>3. Switch Translation Provider from Status Bar</h2>
	   <p>
		You can quickly switch translation platforms from the right side of the Eclipse status bar.
		This selection is <strong>synchronized</strong> with the preferences. Any change made here will
		be reflected in the Preferences settings and vice versa.
